A Good Starting Point,
This review is from: Gardening in the Northwest (Paperback)
Sunset's Gardening in the Northwest is a fast read full of helpful pointers for do-it-yourself gardeners as well as beginning design students. The plant lists provided are a great beginning point as well, however, the Northwest is a region abundant in extraordinary natives with a climate welcoming to innumerable exotics so readers should not sell themselves short by referencing only one book.

Been There Done That,
By A Customer
This review is from: Gardening in the Northwest (Paperback)
If this were the only (or the first) Sunset book that I purchased, I think that I would have liked it quite a lot. However, I already own several Sunset books and, between these and my magazine subscriptions, I found that I was familiar with almost all of the illustrations. This book rated only 3 stars because the material was rehashed from other publications and seemed stale.

Lots of Pics,

This review is from: Gardening in the Northwest (Paperback)
This book is loaded with great pictures and has plenty of useful information. There is no table of contents though and that's a bit odd/inconvenient.
